The growing popularity of service offshoring is one of the most important manifestations of economic globalisation. Cooperation with offshoring partners is increasingly part of the activities of international corporations. Also research and development units are more and more often relocated. In addition, the Polish economy is becoming a vendor of R&D investment. Such a trend can significantly improve the efficiency of the Polish R&D sector, which in comparison to developed countries is still at a very low level of development. Offshoring of research services (mainly in the form of foreign investment) will include inflow of knowledge and technology from the parent company. Moreover, this kind of offshoring increases the value of human capital and, above all, serves as additional capital necessary for the proper development of the R&D sector.
